Little Red Riding Hood Shakers

Little Red Riding Hood shakers have been reproduced. Original shakers by Hull Pottery in this style were made in three sizes: 3¼, 4½ and 5½ inches. The new shakers apparently intended to copy the largest original size but are in between the original sizes measuring only about 4 7/8 inches. The filling holes in the base of originals are nearly perfectly round; holes in the reproductions are very irregular (Fig. 2). The red paint in the originals is under the glaze; the red paint in the reproductions is applied over the glaze.
